Introducing Gidley Pinot Noir Gin:

A Tasmanian Collaboration of Craft and Character

There’s something special about when two worlds meet — distilling and winemaking. The latest limited release from King Island Distillery Bass Strait Spirits, Gidley Pinot Noir Gin, captures this perfectly. 

A Taste of Gidley Pinot Noir 

A jaunty, jewelled ruby in colour, Gidley Pinot Noir Gin invites you in from the first pour. The nose reveals the familiar juniper and spice backbone of Gidley Dry Gin, now entwined with the juicy berry compote notes of Tasmanian Pinot Noir grapes. 

On the palate, it’s a dance of fruit and spice — raspberry partnering with rosemary, brambly blackcurrant twirling around green cardamom, and a gentle undercurrent of pink peppercorn adding warmth and depth. 

The result? A silky texture, striking balance, and lingering finish that captures the craftsmanship of both distiller and winemaker. 

Serving Suggestion: Simple, Striking, and Full of Character 

Gidley Pinot Noir Gin is beautiful poured straight over ice, letting its berry-rich layers unfold with every sip. For something lighter, try it with soda water — the bubbles lift the fresh fruit and herbal notes, creating an easy two-ingredient serve that tastes far more complex than it looks. 

How to serve: 

• Fill a glass with ice. 

• Add 45ml Gidley Pinot Noir Gin. 

• Top with chilled soda water. 

• Garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of rosemary. 

If you’re feeling adventurous, substitute Gidley Pinot Noir Gin for sloe gin in a Charlie Chaplin cocktail — the result is a vibrant, modern twist with unmistakable Tasmanian character. 

Crafted by Nature. Elevated by Collaboration. 

This limited release represents more than a new spirit — it’s a celebration of Tasmanian provenance and creative craftsmanship. From the vineyards of the Tamar Valley to the distillery stills on King Island, Gidley Pinot Noir Gin is where two crafts converge, and something special is created.
